Chapter 38 Awkward Relationship



He took out another can of tea, which was just ordinary tea, and the paper on the outside of the can had been torn off.

As the team leader, Dad has to entertain guests from time to time, so having tea can help to improve his appearance.

Carrying it in my hands and on my back, the return journey was much slower.

Unfortunately, not long after I left, I met Gu Qingbei again.

Even though he was holding a lot of things in his hands, he was much faster than her and caught up with her directly.

"Comrade Jiang, what a coincidence! Let me help you carry it."

Jiang Mengxue felt embarrassed and kept bothering him.

"Thank you, Comrade Gu, but no need. I can lift it."

But Gu Qingbei didn't listen and still picked up the basket from her hand.

Jiang Mengxue felt relieved that what needed to be put away had been put away, and what needed to be taken out had also been taken out.

But looking at the other person like this, he has changed his clothes and his whole temperament has returned. If he is an actor and doesn't win an Oscar, Jiang Mengxue will suspect that there is an inside story.

"Why is Doctor Jiang here at the commune again today? Didn't he buy everything?"

"No, it's almost the holidays, so I came to see if there's anything I can buy. I saw some bones left, so I bought some."

"Did Comrade Jiang also go to the alley to buy things before?"

Jiang Mengxue was a little embarrassed: "What a coincidence, I ran into you there too."

Jiang Mengxue thought that she had disguised herself very well, but the other party was also very powerful.

Even if she hadn't done any work on her face, it would be hard to believe that this was a person just based on her temperament. If she hadn't happened to bump into him face to face, she might not have recognized him.

The two of them didn't continue talking about this topic. After all, the eldest brother wouldn't talk about the second brother.

"When will Comrade Jiang return to the city? I heard there will be a performance on National Day."

Jiang Mengxue then remembered that National Day would come after Mid-Autumn Festival.

I seemed to have heard the aunties in the yard say that there would be activities and they would practice dancing every day.

It's just that she didn't pay much attention to it, and people in the hospital might not have time to participate, so she never heard anyone talk about it.

"I really forgot, but I should be able to make it in time. I have five days off. My family has to go to the fields every day to harvest, and I can't help them. I plan to go back the day after tomorrow."

She was very curious about what activities would be held on National Day, as she had never participated in one before.

The National Day in later generations seemed to be a time for rest or travel, and no one paid attention to any activities.

Gu Qingbei nodded: "Then let's go together? We can still have a companion."

Jiang Mengxue was a little surprised and looked up at the other person, but she didn't expect that Gu Qingbei was also looking down at her.

Jiang Mengxue is at least 167 cm tall, and she is about 1.7 meters tall when wearing small leather shoes.

But Gu Qingbei was about half a head taller than her, definitely no less than 1.8 meters.

The two of them looked at each other, and she felt really embarrassed. She always felt that the atmosphere between them was a bit awkward.

She lowered her head and remained silent, and did not answer him.

When they reached the fork in the road leading to the two teams, Jiang Mengxue directly picked up her basket, fearing that the other party would ask her to send her back.

It's broad daylight now. I don't know what to say if someone sees us.

"I can do it myself. It's not far ahead. You should go back quickly too."

Then he ran away. Now she felt a little uncomfortable being alone with him. She couldn't explain the feeling, but something just didn't feel right.

Gu Qingbei watched the man run away but didn't chase after him. It was indeed not a good idea for two people to walk together in broad daylight. After all, they had no relationship.

Jiang Mengxue returned home and sorted out everything. She also prepared the dishes for dinner and could just put them in the pot.

I took out a new pot, a medium-sized iron pot from Siyin, which had been prepared by the boss before and could be used directly.

I plan to keep this pot at home. If I want to eat something delicious, I still have to cook at home.

If the canteen is disbanded one day, every household will have to cook with clay pots, and it is not easy to get iron pot tickets in rural areas.

Even though she had already done it before, Jiang Mengxue was still not reassured, so she cut a piece of fatty pork and tried it again.

Spread the oil evenly in the pot, wash it in the afternoon and you can use it directly.

It's almost noon now, and Jiang Mengxue doesn't plan to start cooking.

I took some food directly from the space, shredded potatoes with vinegar and stir-fried pork belly with green peppers.

After eating and drinking, I walked around the house. It was dark when I got home last night, so I didn’t take a close look.

A lot of things are planted in the yard, including sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, cabbage, and radishes.

The small yards of farmers in the north are also very large. The front yard is planted with vegetables, and the backyard is even bigger, planted with grain. Together with the grain distributed by the team, it is enough to eat for a whole winter.

After the team's autumn harvest is over, it will be our turn to harvest our own land.

I found a small backpack from the house and planned to go up the mountain to take a look.

Now everyone has gone to the fields. Anyone who can still work has gone to help. Children of a few years old can follow behind to pick up wheat ears, so there are really not many people on the mountain now.

The Jiang family lived near the team headquarters, not far from the drying yard, and some distance up the mountain.

I heard that there is a cave on the mountain, which is very deep. It not only has many small rooms, but also has toilets and wells.

It was discovered accidentally by the older generation of hunters when they went into the mountains to hunt.
